I don't think that really helps that much. Unless they are constantly dropping them, it does not solve the issue that you need 12 stones per tier to upgrade a weapon with normal smithing stone instead of the one that somber requires. Yeah, it was 12 stones per tier in Dark Souls, but you had 3 tiers instead of 8, so by the end of the game you usually had enough to upgrade several weapons. In my last play through of DS 3, I had like 5 weapons I upgraded to max, just with the junk lying around the normal levels. In Elden Ring, I struggle to upgrade even one weapon to max level with normal smithing stone. It hurts the gameplay since you don't feel like you can try out as many weapons. You kind of stick with the one you put a lot of upgrades into and treat the other weapons like collectors items.
Yeah this is me all the way. With a few very recent exceptions Ive stuck with the spiked club Ive had since the first hour or so playing (55 hrs in right now). Its at +11 and the next highest weapon I have is +4 I think.

You find a giant smith pretty fast that sells somber smithing stones up to 4 and there are like a million somber smithing stone 5's for some reason.

6 is hard to find, 7 and 8 less so, and I don't know where 9 and 10 are.
For normal stones if you go to the mines you will get ball bearings that'll get you up pretty far/fast, but yeah those are harder to find for multiple weapons.

That being said I've found the somber smithing stone weapons to be the best so far by a pretty large margin. I'm still using the wyrms blade which is half physical and half fire, and it scales on strength and faith (and a bit dex but not worth raising for that). That sword freaking tears stuff up and is way better than any normal weapon upgraded that I have found (like 2x the damage) also it does fire which has great effects on lots of enemies hehe.

I do agree that it would be nice to be able to get higher tier normal stones in bulk easier/faster, so you can boost normal weapons, especially since you can only use weapon arts on them and they are (Even with weapon arts) usually waaaay weaker than the unique weapons.

This game is so freaking awesome.

For the longest time on my first playthrough I couldn't find any somber 7s. I was sitting at a +6 moonveil that eventually jumped straight to a +9.

You'll find enough for a +25 without farming by the end of the game, and as you go you'll gain access to buying all tiers of shard except +25 due to being a titanite slab equivalent.

Generally you won't find shards that will let you overlevel for where you're at, it's good balance.

Yeah my lance was +6 for the longest time, and somehow I got a 9 shard very very early on. Then eventually I found a 7 and an 8 back to back so it went from +6 to +9. And also my mimic was +6 for a while, then I found a crypt with tons of gloveworts and it went straight to +10 after that dungeon.

sees a video on youtube of a player trying to find loopholes playing elden ring:
*I can still win with only 11HP no healing, no more magic and a +2 weapon! I can't summon anything either but I can maybe find some way somehow to beat this boss without leveling up!*

Finally beat the game and all the major bosses after about 100 hours. It was fun. Malenia was a total drag though. Ended up just using the commander's standard and spamming r1 with the mimic to great success.

I beat one of those things that guard the lesser Erdtrees. I remember fleeing for my life for the one in Caelid however the one in the weeping peninsula was surprisingly easy (just ran around it constantly on horseback and smacked the shit outta it all the while).

It was carrying a couple more bubble tears for the wonderous physik which was great since I only had two this whole time.

Oh yeah so Weeping Peninsula is where you're really supposed to go first. Caelid is actually like a midgame zone. You can go there and make some progress early, but you should probably at least clear Raya Lucaria first before you really start to explore Caelid. And even then, there's stuff there you will have a hard time clearing until even later.

I cheesed the heck out of her the first time I played her. Me and my mimic both used rivers of blood & we would just alternate corpse pillar. Since she is staggerable & corpse pillar multi-hits & from a decent distance away, she could barely even attack. We even knocked her out of the flurry move a few times. It is pretty hilarious that the devs nerfed bloody slash into the ground, but leave this in, which is better in almost every way. Weird, but I am not complaining.

There's literally a massive castle in the middle of the region, and just outside of Stormveil someone hints what to do with it. You can also go back to the Roundtable Hold for more guidance. There's a tonne of direction.

Just beat the game on my second playthrough with my bleed character. It was a bit hit & miss. Certain bosses it absolutely wrecked such as the Godskin Duo, Radahn & heck it even made Fire Giant not take a million years but you certainly had to have work arounds for the bleed immune bosses: the final bosses being the most prominent. Thankfully, Rivers of Blood has pretty high damage weapon arte, which carried me through these sections.

If I did it again, I would've probably used swords instead of daggers. The damage just wasn't there for the daggers against the bleed resistant bosses & it is hard to wiff punish given that your range is very short. But it is insanely fun filling that bleed meter regardless. Mostly leveled arcane as my damage stat since from 10 to 50 gave be about a 50% increase in bleed speed. Since dagger damage is pathetic anyways, I prioritized bleed, but if I were going swords I probably would've gone dex for the base damage. Fun build though, although I think I am Eldened out for now. Probably will play something else.

Dude I just randomly found the friggin sword of night and flame! Mwhahaha! I was exploring the rafters in the magic manor with all those hand spider things and the magic ghost guards kept killing me so I went another way and saw you could jump down below onto another set of rafters. A ladder down and BOOM chest with the sword.

This is one of the best weapons in the entire game from what I hear. The INT requirement is 24 and I only have 9 soooooo gonna be a bit before I can try it out. Honestly I wouldve thought this was a lot more hidden and harder to get to, like an endgame treasure or something.

Oh good then Im not missing as much!

I have so many friggin weapons I dont use. Just from this joint alone I also got the Troll Knight sword (cant use it, INT is too low), a whip sword, the Night and Flame, and one of the Glintstone pebble swords off the Burger King guys.

Its still Spiked Club, basically all the time. That and my trusty short bow. Both of these I got almost immediately like 64 hours ago!
